While in the sports shop the son picks up an England football shirt and says to his sister, "I've decided to be an England supporter and I would like this for my birthday."

His big sister is outraged by this and promptly whacks him round the head and says, "Go talk to your mother." So off goes the little lad with the white and red football shirt in hand and finds his mother.

"Mum?"
"Yes son?"
"I've decided I'm going to be an England supporter and I would like this shirt for my birthday".

The mother is outraged at this, promptly whacks him around the head twice and says, "Go talk to your father."

Off he goes with the football shirt in hand and finds his father.
"Dad?"
"Yes son?"
"I've decided I'm going to be an England supporter and I would like this shirt for my birthday."

The father is outraged and promptly whacks his son around the head 4 times and says:

"No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT!"

About half an hour later they're all back in the car and heading towards home. The father turns to his son and says; "Son, I hope you've learned something today?" The son says, "Yes dad I have." "Good son, what is it?" The son replies,

"I've only been an England supporter for an hour and already I hate you Germans"

p.s. Henning..an uninspired boring win????
I guess so...but it was a little warm out there...we're not used to it.
anyway...a win is a win is a win

What may be of interest to Leonard fans is that Frankfurt is situated on the river Main and one of the areas is known locally as "Main-hatan" so everyone playing there will be hoping that "First we take Main-hatan, then we take Berlin"
